Haunted Graveyard Cake Directions.

While you are waiting for the cake to cool, use the markers to write fun tombstones such as “Death by chocolate.”

Frost the cake with chocolate icing.

While the icing is still soft, decorate the cake. Start with the tombstones and ghosts at the back of the cake. Use unwrapped Hershey kisses to help prop up the ghosts. Push the milano cookies into the cake about 1/3 their length. Slitting the cake with a sharp knife might help to push them into the cake. Be sure to put some tombstones at fun angles. Try not to put ghosts directly in front of the tombstone writing.
